Paper and Cardboard

See Pick-up Services or Drop-off Centers for recycling options.

Consider an Alternative

Reduce cardboard waste with reusable transport packaging, such as plastic totes, collapsible boxes, bins, crates or other multiple-use options. Reusable packaging generally reduces long-term costs while resulting in an efficient flow of goods through distribution channels and improved worker safety. See Reusable Transport Packaging - There's a Better Way and How To Reduce Shipping Materials. Locate reusable transport packaging manufacturers and suppliers in the on-line Reusable Transport Packaging Directory from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.
